TiRoBEx Fluff – The Russian TRS (Tiny Robot Systems)

Following the creation of the Russian TRS Stalin-mk1 base unit by the child super genius Vladimir Kalashnikov, it became apparent that some of his earlier work could be put to good use. He was 12 when he first managed to turn his 1/72 scale Vostok-1 Airfix kit into a fully functioning near-earth orbiter, including a Yuri Gagarin animatronic pilot. Following an international incident which meant he had to forcibly land the craft, and which resulted in the destruction of the pilot, he retrofitted it to an arm of the base unit – The Stalin-Gagarin TRS was born.
